I studied ballet and danced for over ten years, so in a way I did get to enjoy my dream of dancing, but I wish the ballrooms in which my parents danced still existed. I remember the very first time I was Ireland with my parents when I was a child, and we passed the site on which the Olympia Ballroom once stood. My mom was so very sad that it was no longer there. Clearly it was a really enjoyable time in her life.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Jenniferirisheyes jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04588116386284997687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-390677411039765188.post-41885648330917942112012-08-17T06:46:15.879-04:002012-08-17T06:46:15.879-04:00Hi Kathy,

I just love the idea of having a little window into the lives of our family members before we came along.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />Jenniferirisheyes jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04588116386284997687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-390677411039765188.post-50527542096653054292012-08-17T06:43:53.290-04:002012-08-17T06:43:53.290-04:00Hi Carol,

The way we are able to remember things in our mind&#39;s eye is helpful, but it&#39;s even more helpful to have that tangible remembrance.<br /><br />Interesting that you mentioned childhood dreams of enjoying ballroom dancing in your future. While the style has seemed to go the way of history, there are some pockets here and there of more modern folks helping to permit ballroom dancing to make a comeback. Tapping into groups like these, you may be able to realize your youthful dream, after all. It is a delightful--and beautiful--pastime.<br />Jacqi Stevenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-390677411039765188.post-61167015621279757792012-08-16T17:49:59.293-04:002012-08-16T17:49:59.293-04:00Too bad dress dances have gone by the way.

I love seeing the list of men she danced with and rarely did she dance with the same one twice.Debi Austenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17409492643470603926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-390677411039765188.post-90947383902738774272012-08-16T11:40:30.234-04:002012-08-16T11:40:30.234-04:00How wonderful that you discovered the photo, espec...How wonderful that you discovered the photo, especially since it is so dear to you.
